This is the first image NASA has released from the Hubble Space Telescope since it became fully functional after being repaired by space shuttle astronauts in May.
Hubble's newly repaired camera captured this image on June 13 and July 8 of a spiral galaxy in the Big Dipper constellation 6 million light years away.
One photo of the impact on Jupiter was released in July during testing and recalibration, but this is the first since the camera was fully operational.
Stay tuned to Wired Science for more Hubble images later this morning.
